This Classic PS2 Disc Holds a Clever Easter Egg

When it comes to video game disks and DVDs, the beauty is in the content itself -- rarely in the packaging. However, a recent Twitter post brought the case of a classic Play Station 2 game back into the spotlight. 

In 2004, inXile Entertainment produced one of the best spoof video games ever created -- The Bard's Tale. The non-traditional RPG action-adventure game took players on a quest with plenty of tongue-in-cheek references, puns, and jokes throughout. 

One of the best jokes didn't even come from gameplay; it's on the front of the disk itself. And 14 years later, a lot of players are just now realizing exactly how much they got played. 

Recent interest in the game can be traced back to Twitter user @alejansolo:

Other fans of the cult classic quickly joined in with their thoughts. 

I was 95% sure it was Bard's Tale because that's so solidly in line with the humor in that game XD

The Bard's Tale is still a great game , even better now I know the disc is sort of an ass. Can't believe I have owned this game since release and never noticed that. Only 14 years.

Not even die-hard fans noticed the disc's copy.

It says it in the text on there. Plus I remember reading that and saying "Motherfucker" when I flipped it over.

Now it's time to rediscover that game in its glory and relive some good memories to see what other jokes players missed 14 years ago.
